Report: Donald Trump Pays Less In Taxes Than People Living Below the Poverty Line, Most Likely Because He’s A Crook | Vanity Fair
Since announcing his bid for the presidency in 2015, Donald Trump has told, conservatively, 736,953 lies. One of the biggest whoopers that he frequently repeated on the campaign trail, when asked why he was qualified for office, was that he was “really rich” and “had built a great company.” At the time, this line didn’t pass the smell test among the many people aware of the six business he put into bankruptcy or his reputation, in New York social circles, as a conman. Unfortunately, Trump’s failure to release his tax returns has thus far made it difficult to know how much of his claim to be a genius businessman is a lie, or where exactly the money he does have has come from. Until now! On Sunday, the New York Times published the results of a major investigation into the the president’s returns, revealing decades of not only massive losses but highly suspect tax “avoidance” that has allowed him to pay virtually nothing to the federal government in nearly twenty years.
Specifically, according to reporters Russ Buettner, Susanne Craig and Mike McIntire, the president paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and nothing whatsoever in 10 of the previous 15 years. If that sounds crazy to all you taxpaying members of society, it is! While the uber-wealthy have long been known for employing highly paid accountants to perform tax arbitrage that lowers their bills to the government, in 2017, per the Times, the average federal income rate for people in the the top 0.001 percent of all filers was 24.1 percent, meaning that over the past two decades, Trump has paid roughly $400 million less in combined federal income taxes than the richest people in the country. Put another, more offensive way? In the years Trump actually paid more than $0 to the federal government, he still paid less than someone making $18,000 a year."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
